Wow, I didn't realize there was such a big increase for the big trucks. And then when mud season comes they restrict their use of the roads.

Perhaps better as a question: "What year was registration required for non-powered sailboats?"

My 1980's photos of my various Hobie 16s and 18s show no bow numbers or registration decals—while in 1993, I was stopped for no decal on my Tornado 20 catamaran.
Since you were responding to my post involving a look at my SAILBOAT LICENSE PLATE which is the last plate I had prior to bow numbers confirming another's post that 1989 appears to have been the year when bow numbers went into effect in NH!

Yep, there were sailboats that were required to be registered

You should pay attention in class!

Default License Plates

The place I rent a cabin on the lake has a Sunfish sailboat that still has a 1988 License plate scewed to the transom. The plate takes up the entire starboard side. If the transom was any smaller the plate wouldn't fit. The boat is 13' 10" long. NB

That's interesting; however, I own a 1963 Folbot kayak that the previous owner registered in New Hampshire—unnecessarily! 'Wonder how many of those unpowered craft are around, waiting to discover their unintended generosity of revenue to the state of New Hampshire?

(IOW, the registration of that particular Sunfish, like my kayak, could have been an error predating 1988).

I was interested for the beginning date that sailboats were required to be registered. (Such as the previously-given examples). I would fully expect that any boat with an engine would pay registration fees—at least since the 1950s.

Default Another Thought

The Sunfish I mentioned above was "rented' out to guests. Maybe it was considered "Comercial"...thus requiring plates. Just wondering. NB
